Vacancy: Junior Product / Prompt Engineer
Amsterdam · Full-time
Most news is consumed and forgotten. We’re building something people can explore, follow, and remember. Want to build that with us?
About Timepath
At Timepath, we’re rebuilding how news is experienced.
Instead of static articles, we create interactive formats like timelines, liveblogs, quizzes and collections: helping publishers turn news into something people can explore, follow, and engage with.
Our platform is already used by leading publishers such as De Telegraaf, de Volkskrant and Belfast Telegraph.
We’re a SaaS company based in Amsterdam, working with media companies across Europe. And we’re just getting started, with global expansion ahead.
The role
This is not a typical junior developer role.
You’ll work directly with the founder, the product, and real users — and quickly grow from solving issues to building features.
You won’t just support the product. You’ll shape it.
What you’ll do
Turn real user needs into product improvements and technical solutions
Take ownership of bugs — from identification to fixing them in production
Improve and extend the product using AI (think: automations, smarter workflows, content structuring)
Work on interactive formats used in real news environments (timelines, liveblogs, quizzes)
Help scale a product used during live events and high-traffic moments
Collaborate closely with the founder and contribute to product decisions
Why this role is interesting
You ship fast — no endless layers or slow decision-making
You’ll work on a live product used by major news publishers
You’ll grow quickly from fixing issues to building new features
You get hands-on experience with AI in a real product environment
You’re early — meaning real ownership and influence on product & tech
You work in a small, international team with a flat structure
Who we’re looking for
1–3 years of experience in software development
You’re curious, hands-on, and like figuring things out yourself
You’re interested in AI and how it can improve products
You’re comfortable working close to product and users
You’re based in (or willing to relocate to) Amsterdam
You’re fluent in Dutch and English (French or German is a plus)
What we offer
Salary around €3,000/month, review after 6 months
Fast growth into a full product engineer role
Direct exposure to product, users and company building
Real responsibility from day one
A chance to help build a product from early stage to global scale
